Panday made her acting debut in
2019 with the teen film Student
of the Year 2, co-starring Tiger
Shroff and Tara Sutaria, which
was produced by Dharma Produc-
tions. Writing for Scroll.in, Nandini
Ramnath felt that Panday showed
potential in an unremarkable film.
With worldwide earnings of Rs 978
million, the film underperformed at
the box office.
Panday next starred in Pati Patni
Aur Woh (2019), a remake of
the 1978 film of the same name,
alongside Kartik Aaryan and Bhumi
Pednekar. She played a secretary
who indulges in an affair with a
married man, which was portrayed
by Ranjeeta Kaur in the original. It
emerged as a commercial success.
Panday will next star in the action
film Khaali Peeli, co-starring Ishaan
Khatter, and in Shakun Batra's as-
yet-untitled romantic drama, along-
side Deepika Padukone and Sid-
dhant Chaturvedi. She is in huge
demand and is rushed with several
offers. Her Instagram handle too
has millions of followers and the
actress is thrilling her fans in glam-
orous outfits and pictures. On the
whole, Ananya is sure the new face
of Bollywood for the younger gen-
erations of Hindi cinema.
